Trying to go to bed

She throws a pad away in the bathroom
garbage and forgets to close the door.
I only know this when I pull the sheets
back to go to bed. The dog has dragged
her pain into my life, once again.

Banish dog to crate. Self-talk about what needs
to be said. Make an effort at 1 a.m. to lie
down. Question tomorrow: (which is today):
train new coworker, enter data, empower
client, empower family, wait for son to return
from concert, think about last night's dreams.

Who lies down easily? Who sleeps through the
night? How and what.

My ankle turns easily to the right as I think.
